From laid-back chances to bond with loved ones to adrenaline-producing family adventure, Salt Lake City offers more than enough activities as engaging as they are rewarding.

Your choices vary depending on the time of year you visit. From mid-November to April, enjoy some of the best skiing and snowboarding around at one of our four world-class resort facilities (Alta does not allow snowboarding). Of course, the winter fun doesn’t end there. Take your pick from other winter activities like snowmobiling, snowshoeing, birding on skis at Alta, and so much more.

In the warmer months, reconnect with nature on one of our many picturesque hiking and biking trails. Spend a day with the kids enjoying the children’s amusement park and playground at the family-friendly Liberty Park or the children's museum at Discovery Gateway. Or say hello to hundreds of animals at Utah’s Hogle Zoo. 

Don’t forget a Salt Lake Connect Attractions Pass, which gives you access to 16 of Northern Utah’s most popular attractions, all at huge savings.

When it comes to natural beauty, Utah never fails to impress. Pick any direction and drive outside the city to find extraordinary landscapes, unlike anything you've seen.   

Among the most popular Salt Lake City day trips is Bonneville Salt Flats. A little less than two hours from SLC, visiting the Flats feels like you're on another planet. Covering over 30,000 acres, you'll need to experience this ancient, dried-up salt lake first-hand to fully comprehend its allure. 

 You also won’t want to miss the Spiral Jetty, created by artist Robert Smithson in the 1970s. The work of art, located in the Great Salt Lake, is now covered with salt crystals and is most visible when water levels drop below an elevation of 4,198 feet. 

 For more day trips, don't forget the Crystal Hot Springs, the turquoise blue waters of Bear Lake, and the widely celebrated ski resorts nearby like Deer Valley Resort (skiing only) and Park City Mountain.
